IMNSHO, if they're not smart enough to use a simple text-based menuing
system ¨(a la a BBS), then I don't want to deal with them in my system. :)

Unfortunately, in all of my tech support and PC tech experience, a majority
of ¨computer users are quite stupid and unwilling to catch on to the
simplest of ¨ideas.  As if using a text-based menuing system is so hard. 
Again, ¨unfortunately, it is the dawn of the GUI in the early '90s that
"dumbed down" a ¨majority of the computer user population.  We
sysops and BBS users are but a ¨tiny percentage of computer users.

I figure if they don't know how to spell "cool" or use another
emotion besides ¨"LOL", I don't need them using my system.

Again, just my two cents' worth and not trying to get into you and Mark's
¨thread... I just had to say what I said though. :)  I've actually gotten
paged ¨at 9:15 PM on a Friday night because of a (then) new user could't
figure out to ¨log off.

At every single menu in my board, there is the (G)oodbye command on the screen.

Guess she couldn't figure it out because there was no "Goodbye"
button to ¨click... maybe I should set up RIP screens on my board? :)

Later,
Sean
